That sounds so dirtyI'm currently saving up for these for when they are available in the UK but I won't be comfortable pulling the trigger on them until Amir has jammed his nose deep into the port and had a good sniff around
I would trust @hardisj's measurements more than I would trust mine especially in the bass region. Because mine is in-room, the placement can easily affect the response in my measurement.I guess I wonder about the accuracy of the PIR down that low, where speaker positioning and room start to impact things.
The dip did not seem to be present in @joentell ’s in-room measurement. Obviously, those are much lower resolution, but still interesting.
I understand what you're saying too. But I could move the speaker a few feet in a different direction in the room and perhaps get and even bigger dip in that location. Bass gets tricky in rooms. But yes, it's possible in certain locations. I'm inclined to say that because it's below the transition frequency, DSP could help a lot.I guess that’s sort of my point though. If real world placement fills in the dip, relative to the Klippel’s assumed in-room placement, that could be okay, right?

Yes, I plan on it.@joentell
I appreciate the approach you took on your initial Uni-Fi Reference review. Any chance there might be a UB52 vs. UBR62 in the future?
Fantastic, I look forward to it.Yes, I plan on it.

I think some people would be interested in DBR62/UBR62 comparison - or at least I would.Yes, I plan on it.
I didn't compare the DBR62, but I did just make a video comparing the Uni-Fi Reference, to the 2.0, to the original UB5.I think some people would be interested in DBR62/UBR62 comparison - or at least I would.
That grill is very light and thin. It seems like you can deform it simply by pushing harder with a finger. TBH I don't really understand what was the point.I have DBR62 which is obviously well protected by the grill
As do rear ports.
Based on what I have experienced, I'd take a problematic front port over a problematic rear port. The former tends to result in a dip where the latter results in a peak, on-axis.
I heard it helps with dispersion. There is indeed the effect that waves spread into all directions when the hole they pass through is smaller than their wavelength. But I don't know how well this actually applies to speakers where there might be a lot more factors involved. It is explained somewhere in this video:That grill is very light and thin.
